BCSDH Towards Net Zero Survey 2021

The transition to a carbon-neutral economy is becoming increasingly urgent. Companies have a key role to play. Our goal is to understand the commitments and actions towards carbon neutrality among partners of the Net Zero initiative and the BCSDH member companies.

The assessment will provide a basis on how we can help our member companies in the transition to carbon-neutral operation. We would like to thank Deloitte for supporting the preparation of the questionnaire.

We will present the results of the survey at one of our events this year in support of the UN “Race to Zero” program.

The 3 main questions of the survey are:

Objectives & GHG*-emissions measurement
Areas for emission reduction and, where appropriate, carbon neutrality
Reporting

The questionnaire should take 15 minutes to complete.

The online format has several useful functions (e.g. you can take a break, and data are automatically saved and can be sent via e-mail to another email address so the filling of the questionnaire can be continued on another device).

If you need any information or help related to this questionnaire, feel free to contact me at: iren.marta@bcsdh.hu, +36 30 229 1944.

The public information provided in the questionnaire and on the corporate website will be used by the Hungarian Business Council for Sustainable Development for its analysis and publication. In case of quotes, BCSDH will contact each company to obtain the prior consent.

I hereby consent to processing the data provided in the questionnaire. (The data processing policy of BCSDH is available here in Hungarian.)
